Hi, can I get your input on stitching color?

My SA sent me a pic in gold and I always thought Hermes gold and etoupe had a contrast stitching. I've never seen them come with tone on tone stitching. Do you think this is just a similar color to gold?

I still can't decide on a size! 27 vs 31

I think this is size 27 so it doesn’t have the same stitching like size 31 has :smile:

They are both nice imo! Am waiting for a h.com order to arrive tomorrow in the exact bag and am curious if it would turn up in gold stitching - i would be happy with either.. It's gold! I have both 31 (Black Clemence) and waiting on 27 (gold epsom). I see them with very different use cases.. 31 for travel/mid sized bag and proportion wise looks better with work wear. 27 in this style is a low key alternative to a dinner or hands free shopping bag. Both are quite different, just my 2 cents :smile:

I was trying to decide between a 27 and 31, too. I’m tall with a medium build- and I’ve come to a conclusion. The 31 makes for a great handbag (and it can double as a shoulder bag in a pinch) and the 27 makes for a perfect shoulder bag. It’s too dainty for my body frame to be handheld. I think I’ll get a 27 eventually for public market runs and downtown walks. The 27 was perfect- hand carry and shoulder carry- on my 5’3” daughter’s frame. Mind you, this is just my opinion.

Here’s a gold w/ contrast stitching. Is it the same color leather in your opinion?852AC004-9583-4909-86CE-9D0696B0402F.jpeg

My Bo31!:love:
I don’t know why I waited so long to get it. My GP30 was my favorite bag, until now. :flowers: Sorry, GP.
The Bo31’s strap, when needed, came in quite handy. Next year, I’m going for a neutral color.
Thank you to the Bolide clubhouse and tPF’ers who voiced their opinions. I appreciate you!:hugs:

I definitely think my SA sent the wrong picture and what you posted is "gold"
I'm going to see it in person today! I hope the 27 looks suitable for my frame and daily use. I love your new 31 and making me wonder if I need a more roomy one. Enjoy your new addition!

I’m excited to read what happens and if you get it. You can’t go wrong with either size in my opinion (31 v. 27). I :heart: both.
The 27 fit all my essentials (reading glasses, cell phone, key fobs, card case, EPI Pen, wipes and more). The 31 fits all that and a mini bottle of water, my sunglasses case, my daughter’s cell phone, extra masks, a small umbrella and more. There is quite a weight difference to consider- especially if it’s packed.
Happy Shopping!:drinks:

I have three kids, 1, 3 and 5 years of age. I'm constantly on the go w kids. I use my bags and don't baby them. I just got trench in bolide and it's perfect!!! I also love Craie!!!!! I would add craie to my collection in a heartbeat!! The color is divine!! I'm not a fan of Colvert at all!!!! Weird bleu to me. Don't settle, but don't be scared to use. I would just be cautious of color transfer with clothing. But of course craie bolide wouldn't be a workhorse. Go for Craie!!!!

Hello everyone!

I am new to the Bolide club as while I love the aesthetics of the design, the 31cm was too big for my intended usage, whilst the mini 18cm they had at one point was too small. Recently, I managed to get a Bolide 1923 25cm from one of the local H stores a few weeks after expressing my interest!

Here she is! Thanks for letting me share!
